By: Christy Nicholas
5 out of 5 stars
The story Legacy of Luck (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 3) by Christy Nicholas is a historical fantasy book. It grabbed my interest from the beginning, and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story that I found to have a lot of detail and I felt like I was right there with the characters. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Eamonn and Katie. Katie is a young woman who is strong, independent, feisty, and stubborn. Eamonn is a young man who loves woman and gambling. He rarely passes up an opportunity to place a bet and finding a woman is not hard for him. Then he meets Katie. The feelings he begins to have for her are not the same as for those he has been with in the past. There is an attraction between them. Katie finds herself married to a Scottish Traveler and Eamonn travels to Scotland in order to find her. What does the future hold for Eamonn and Katie? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is emotional and also had me glued to the pages wondering how it was all going to work out. I grew to care about Katie and Eamonn with each chapter that I read. I also enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that are introduced and their interactions with Eamonn and Katie. I have read several of the books in this series and have found that they are entertaining and hard to put down. Highly recommended.
I enjoyed this book as well as the adventure this author took me on with her story. This story is full of action and romance. The characters are well developed and made me feel part of the story. This is Eamonn and his journey to Scotland to find his bride as she is on her own journey to find him. Once again, we see the brooch and the power it can have. The twists and turns had me turning pages as well as kept me engaged until the end. I highly recommend this book, my favorite yet.
Legacy of Luck: Druid’s Brooch Series: #3
by Christy Nicholas
I loved this book just as much as the other books in this series. This book is so rich in detail that I felt like I was right there in it. There is magic, history, action, danger, romance and so much more. This story is Éamonn”s journey and it kept me completely enthralled. I really like Katie’s character as well and her strong personality. I couldn’t put this book down as soon as I started reading it until I got to the end. There are other wonderful characters in this story that make a great addition to this book. These books can be read as a standalone, but it is my suggestion to read them all because they are truly great stories. This author does an excellent job weaving magical stories in such a way that they grab your attention and keep you captivated. I highly recommend this book.
Legacy of Luck (The Druid’s Brooch Series Book 3) by Christy Nicholas was a pretty okay read that was intreating, engaging, with a solid plot.
A follower of this series, I have to say this wasn’t my fav, but still held my attention and kept me reading. I love the characters, and the MC’s were well developed, compelling, and easy to like. I like the opening, it set the stage for me and cemented the plot to come. The flow was steady, and the detail, wow, this book was heavy on the detail and really made you feel like you were apart of this world. I love the journey, the mystery, the little magic, and the high price that our MC had to pay when given the “gift”. This book was a rare take on what it deemed as romance. Sure they had little time together, but his will to dave her, find her, and doing what he could, was a treat for me.
I do wish there was more magic, and fea, but overall this book was a pretty solid read, and it gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.
Happy Reading

LEGACY OF LUCK Druid’s Brooch Series, #3 by Christy Nicholas is epic! I love series that contain stand alone novels! Each book can be independent and leave you satisfied but I couldn’t stop reading! I also love that you don’t need to read them in order if you choose to read the series. This book is full of magic, history and adventure. I’m hooked!
Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series. This series can be read out of order and still enjoyed, but you will enjoy the common ties between the books. This story follows Eamonn and Katie. I really enjoyed their story and how the brooch played its part in the story. These are great historical fiction and the author puts time into exploring different periods of Irish history. I have read several books in this series and I have enjoyed each of them. The characters are interesting and each story focuses on different members in a family. This family story spans generation after generation. I look forward to reading more about them and the brooch in the future.
Legacy of Luck: Druid’s Brooch Series: #3 by Christy Nicholas
My rating 5 out of 5 stars
This is probably the 5th book I have read by Christy Nicholas and like the previous books, this one is nothing short of awesome. Every time I read book from the Druid’s Brooch Series, I instantly get sucked in. This book is filled with romance, adventure, always magical and excellent characters.
I really enjoyed the character of Eamonn. He is the next in line to inherit the brooch and spends his time trying to save a fellow Traveler by the name of Katie from a loveless and unsafe marriage. The twists and turns along the way as well as the secondary characters we meet make this book truly wonderful. I especially love the way Katie’s parents were worked into the book as well as her evil fiancé/husband. Having such nasty characters really gives this book that extra edge, which again is what pulled me right in.
I truly recommend the entire Druid’s Brooch Series. Watching the brooch being passed down to different members of the family, and what obstacles they encounter because of it, is magical.

4 out of 5 stars
When I started the Druid’s Brooch series, I wasn’t sure to expect but now that I’ve finished book 3, it’s time I admit how much I’ve enjoyed it.
Each story can be read as a standalone and the more I read from this Author, the harder it is to pick a favorite.
Legacy of Luck had the imagery and authentic feel I’ve come to expect from the Druid’s Brooch series with a Fantasy element that proves to be fun and exciting.
I really enjoy the depth and character development in this book. There were characters you love and those you love to hate, yet somehow find yourself invested in just the same.
As always, looking forward to reading more from Christy Nicholas.
5 Star

Overall I really enjoyed the story. I love Scotland and Ireland stories so this was fun. I would rate 4 stars.

I am reading this whole series so far out of order it isn’t even funny. I have enjoyed almost all of the books I have read by this author and this series has been great considering I don’t even read this genre. I must say that besides the area descriptions and where this book takes place, it is not my favorite of the series, but I sincerely did enjoy it. I am thinking that this is not the authors fault, maybe if I go back and read all of these in order it will all be different for me. In saying that you can absolutely read these all as standalones without too much of a problem.
Eamonn’s journey to locate Katie, his true love along with her sister and his cousin was fun, had a bit of magic here and there and also had some twists and turns that I was not expecting. I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland so it was great taking this journey with them.
There were some great characters in this book, all of them written in very well and I definitely disliked the ones Im sure I was supposed to. There are some sensitive subjects in this book that were a bit hard to read at some points, but all in all this authors writing still comes through as completely awesome throughout.
Highly recommend.
Legacy of Luck is the third book in Christy Nicholas’ Druid’s Brooch Series. It’s a fascinating series that I’ve been really enjoying. Each book focuses on a character in a different point in (predominantly Irish) history who inherits a brooch, passed down through the generations, and with it gains some magical powers. I love the glimpses into history, and the way the story unfolds throughout time.
In Legacy of Luck, the heir to the brooch is Éamonn. A traveller with a knack for gambling with dice, Éamonn is desperate to save fellow traveller Katie from an arranged marriage she hasn’t consented to. He has to discover how to use his powers to help him on his quest, and how to do so safely.
There are lots of good characters in this story – I particularly like Éamonn’s brother Ruari as he is kind and loyal and uninterested in the romantic drama that takes over most of the other characters. I also like Turlough with his gift for music.
In this book there is a fair bit of violence and domestic abuse, particularly in Katie’s story. It is addressed sensitively and is a relevant part of the story, but at times it is quite graphic and can come unexpectedly.
For me, this is a five star book. I enjoy the series, and this is a great addition to it! The books do not need to be read in order, and indeed the series order doesn’t follow the chronological order of the time periods that the books are set. So I’ve been reading them in a fairly random order and enjoying the story that way! If you’re particularly interested in Irish travellers or 18th Century history, this might be a good place to start.
Legacy of Luck: Druid’s Brooch Series: #3
By Christy Nicholas
Legacy of Luck is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series by Christy Nicholas. This series are the only books I have read by this author and I have to say I have not been disappointed, Christy has a way of writing that really grabs you and makes you want to keep reading just to see what is happening. The thing I like about Legacy of luck is the story doesn’t start with a bang, it slowly builds up and in my opinion gives a chance of getting to the characters much better. It’s good to read another book with a female character as a main, but also making her a strong character enhanced the story. In this book we have romance and action a plenty. This book can also be read as a stand alone with ease. I highly recommend that this series is read, like me you will enjoy it I am sure.

Stars:4
This is a wonderful mixture of adventure, romance, and some magic. I enjoyed the main characters. They were well developed and easy to care about. I couldn’t wait to see what the brooch would gift Eammon. Overall, this story was a great addition to this series!
Legacy of Luck Druid’s Brooch Series #3 by Christy Nicholas is a historical fantasy that is full of magic and mystical creatures. The story is fraught with action and drama, adventure and mystery, and lets not forget the danger. All books in this series can be read as standalones. Having been to Ireland and Scotland I found it easy to travel to and imagine the vivid pictures that Christy was painting. I enjoyed this story but to me it was a little slower paced to begin with and took awhile for me to warm up to it. I felt the storyline of the Brooch was missing in this tale and I was a little unsure of some of the characters. There is a little twist towards the end that I did not see.
Travellers Eamonn and Kate are attending a horse fair with their families and Eamonn falls head over heels for Kate but she is forced into an arranged marriage. Thus becomes the journey to save her and have her for himself.
I have read most of the books in this series and am not sure what is left to read but I look forward to finding out.
“The Druid’s Brooch Series” is a a series of books that can be read as standalone stories. The common thread is a brooch that is passed on to family over the course of many generations.
LEGACY OF LUCK is not my favorite of the series. The descriptive writing had me fondly recalling my recent trip to Ireland, but I never connected with the characters.
This is on me, not the author. The story evolves slowly and there is a bit of repetition with events (or dice games) and circumstances. It is a fairly fast read and I will be putting this on my “to be read again list” to see if my opinion changes.
Legacy of Luck is the third book in the Druid’s Brooch series. It can be read as a standalone. Having read previous books in this series I can say that this one is just as awesome. The author has a great eye for detail and weaves the story in a way that makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. There are fantasy elements blended with realistic ones and it makes for a believable tale. Despite a few slow places in the story, the overall adventure, drama, and plot twists keep you hooked.
This is the third book of the series but is a standalone. I have enjoyed everyone of these novels they all are written beautifully. While I was reading this novel I felt like I was right there alongside the character’s and I could also visualise everything around them was an amazing experience. These novels aren’t usually my go to but I fully admit I enjoyed every second and cant wait to read more.
Legacy of Luck (Druids Brooch Series #3) by Christy Nicholas
4 Stars!!!!
This is yet another book in this series I have read and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed yet another trip into the world of the Fae and ancient Ireland and Scotland this time. The author has quite a unique world that she has created. I was just as enthralled with this book as I have been with the others in this series I have read.
The characters are refreshing and bring the story to life. I really like how the author entwines the two worlds together of the enchanting Fae and the magic and the real world , I really enjoyed the cultural pasts that the author uses in this book of Ireland and Scotland. I like how the story wasn’t predictable. Eamonn and Katie’s characters really drew me more into the book. I like how each were each other’s second chance. I really routed for Eamonn at the beginning as Katie was really off limits to begin with. I also like how Eamonn’s family history with the brooch and the Fae gets entwined into the story. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.
Legacy of Luck by Christy Nicholas is the third book in the Druids Brooch series. This is a great series that is full of detail and amazing characters. Although all the books interlink you can read them as stand-alones.
Yet again this author has created a story so vivid and captivating that you will find yourself drawn into the characters and their lives. It’s is so easy to imagine yourself right there with them all.
The combination of reality and folklore is written so well that you could easily believe it all. This really is a great series and one that everyone should try.
